Let's be real — mums will always say "don't need lah", but that doesn't mean we shouldn't spoil them anyway
Whether she's a glam queen, a foodie, or a creative soul, here are some sweet ideas to show her just how much she means to you.
1. Get gorgeous together at COCOdry
Treat your mum (and yourself!) to the ultimate pampering session at COCOdry. Customise your own hair treatment based on your scalp and hair needs, then sit back and enjoy a soothing scalp massage together.
You'll also get to create your own rollerball infused with crystals and essential oils, and wrap up the experience with a relaxing hand massage. It's the perfect bonding date — calming, indulgent, and guaranteed to leave you both feeling fresh and fabulous.
